Mend one's ways (6)

I think it could be either:

repent

reform

'mend one's ways' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for reform that I've seen before include "Correct(ion of) abuses" , "Abandon evil practices" , "Show improvement" , "Mend one's ways" , "Removal of abuses" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, The Telegraph, the King Feature Syndicate, The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, the USA Today and The Times.
